Deleting a connector

When a manageable connector is deleted, its application modules are automatically stopped and deleted from the connector deployment node.

Prior to deleting an unmanageable connector (or a connector that is configured to ignore the functions of a manageable connector), you first need to stop it manually and delete its application modules.

To prepare an unmanageable connector for deletion:

On the node where the connector is deployed, perform one of the following actions as appropriate:

  • For a Syslog, SIEM, Generic, or Email connector, use the default_connectors_registrar.py script located in the directory /opt/kaspersky/kics4net-connectors/libexec/ on the node computer hosting the installed application components. To run the script, enter the following command in the operating system console:

    sudo python3 default_connectors_registrar.py delete

    After starting the script, specify the name of the connector when prompted by the script.

  • For an Active poll connector, enter the following command in the operating system console:

    sudo systemctl disable kics4net-apm

To delete a connector:

  1. Connect to the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server through the web interface using the Administrator account.
  2. Select Settings → Connectors.
  3. On the Connectors tab, select the connector that you want to delete.

    The details area appears in the right part of the web interface window.

  4. Click the Delete button.

    A window with a confirmation prompt opens.

  5. In the prompt window, confirm removal of the selected connector.
